the Violation of Law

"Did Crane say, last night in his
speech that he would not hesitate to
violate the law if the amendment was
carried and become part Of the
state constitution ?" asked an anti
prohibitionist Of reporter of the
HERALD to-day. "Yes, and there are
a number of people who will testify
30 the fact if necessary" "That settles
it,, i follow no man or set ofmen who
advocates the violation ofan organic
law"

FROM MARSHALL.

MARSHALL, Tex, July 9.-More or
less rain has been falling in this county
for the past week or ten days. This
rain will mature the corn and the largest
crop of corn since 1852 will be made.
Farmers are apprehensive for cotton less
an excess of rain will produce crop OF
woIms. Cotton now is in excellent con
dition.
Bill Daniels, colored, entered +. +.
Gray's chemical works and was detected
in the act of taking watch from a
showcase when Mr.. Gray slammed the
showcase door, catching the hand
and arm. Daniels was arrested and tried
and in default of 800 bond is now in
Jail.
The County Commissioners Court has
finished its work of equalizing assess
ments of property and adjourned. 1t is
estimated that the total increase will add
about 81 800 to the tax revenue of the
State and county.

This morning.about 3 O'Clock gen.
ileman by tho name of Thorn got
tired and crawled into friendly hack
standing by the sidewalk. Thorn
went to sleep in his cosy "snuggery."
The owner Of the hack having been
absent somewhere returned and
found Thorn sound asleep. lie pro-
cured an old army six shooter and
presented the same to Thorn, and de-
manded "what in - he was doing
in there" Thorn who proved to be
well dressed, wearing a pair of
tight fitting glasses, weakened as he
looked down the barrel of the revoly-
or and tried to apologize. Officer Corn
well came along at this opportune
moment and took charge of Thorn !;
but that gentleman protested vigor-
ously, but to no purpose. The bal
ance of the night he rested in the
calabOese.

AT THE WIGWAM.
Ten Hundred People Greet Col.
Swain.

Hon. W. j. Swain, spoke last night
at the Wigwam, in place of Col. Wynn,
as previously announced. Had it been
known that Mr.. Swain was going to
speak there would have been 1000 in
stead of 1000 people present.
Mr.. Swain reviewed the entire ques-
tion in one of the strongest and most
forcible speeches delivered IN Dallas.
He was clear, logical and consistent.
The interest which the people take in
the question in favor of prohibition is
evinced by the difference in the crowds
between the antis and pros at their
public meetings. Mr.. Swain held his
audience in the closest attention. The
facts which he presented were clearly
illustrated. His impressive manner Of
speaking made every word go straight
t. the mark. Mr.. Swain made con-
verts last night. There were num-
ber of ants present. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Swain will visit Dallas again
during the campaign. There are hun
dreds of people who are anxious TO
hear him.
AT the close OF Col. Swain's speech
Mr.. Chancy was called, and responded
in rousing speech, and good one.

Horticultural Society, has received over
200 varieties of plants and flowers to be
placed on exhibition when that society
convenes, July % and 90 Other varie-

ing to entertain many thousand people
on that occasion in royal style.
Though the interest in the prohibition
canvass seems to affect every other char
acter of business to some extent, 1t seems
not to lessen the labors of the mechanic
and mason, or to abate the demand for
building material. Several new build
ings have been begun in the past week.
A great deal of rain has fallen in this
section in the past week, and while thus
far it is beneficial, the farmers fear il
will bring the cotton worm or some
other disaster to cut the crop that prom

WASHINGTON news-mOngers who
have been made, the same as their
betters, to wait their turn in the ante
room of the White House, seem to
have had their dignity offended. We
know how these gentry avenge them
selves. They turn a private grief into
a public outrage. In this instance
they get even on Lamont by denounc-
ing the President as holding himself
aristocratically aloof from the people.
OF course these disgrtintled scribes
are The People. Mr.. Cleveland is
charged with exclusiveness because
he has been compelled to enforce rules
that give him the needed time
to attend to the pressing duties
of his office. No President can, in
justice to the manifold public affairs
that claim his attention, receive mis-
cellaneous crowds at all hours. Mr..
Cleveland has set apart two days in
the week to public levees. That
ought to be enough. Your modern
Washington special is specially OBJ
trusive. He assumes the right of au-
dience with every public officer at all
times. He is the Free Lance of jour-
nalism, the autocrat of the Capital.
Snub his importunate impertinencies,
and he strikes back viciously through
the wires. OF course, the Republican
press is behind him in all his mean
nesses, SO long as they are aimed at a
Democratic Administration.

Los ANGELES will soon have more
railways than Indianapolis, the famous
railroad center. Seventeen different
lines of railway, four by horse power
two by cable, two by electrity, and
nine by steam, are operating or in
process of completion in and to this
city. Another line has been surveyed
and the contract will soon be let for
its construction. This is most remark.
able for city OF 10000 people. The
rapid settlement of the suburbs will
necessitate other lines within a short
time SO that it is safe to conclude that
twenty lines of railway will be in oper'
alton in Los Angeles within the next
year. 1t is now the banner railroad
center of the State.

MONDAY, JULY 25, 1887.
Dcrcnda Est Chinatown.

The partial burning out OF China
town has laid bare to the public gaze
a most dangerous disease-breeding
tilth-center in the very heart OF the
city. 1t is only ON the Pacific coast
that these plague-nurseries are per-
mitted to grow up Public morals
and public health demand their ex-
finction. For over fifteen years the
people of this city have tried to have
Los Angeles street cut through
Chinatown. II this could be ac-
complished the extension of one
of the finest business streets
to junction with Alameda would
eyentuate in Kidding the city of the
Chinatown eyesore; for business hous-
es would necessarily take the place of
the Celestial rookeries, and a center OF
vice and filth would be wiped out.
Now that yesterday mornings fire has
swept away anumber of the obnoxious
tenements, it would be well for our
people to make a move that would
prevent the restoration of any of the
half-burned novels to their old
condition. The Fire Wardens ought
to condemn all the buildings that
have been partially burned, and for
bid the Chinese from patching them
mp. There is suit before the Courts
for the condemnation of all the build
ings in Negro alley, so as to open and
extend Los Angeles. This suit has
dragged its slow length along
in various shapes for twelve
or thirteen years. Why pub
lie nuisance like this quarter has al
ways been cannot be abated, even by
aid of the law providing for condem-
nation, is a mystery. On number
of occ asions this thing has been on
the point being successfully consum-
mated, when some unforeseen
difficulty would spring up. In the
meantime other streets in various
other parts Of the city have been
opened without serious trouble. Per-
haps yesterday mornings fire is an
opportune visitation, and will
put new life into the suit to
condemn. The owners of property in
Chinatown ought to be as anxious as
the rest of the citizens to improve and
sweeten this neighborhood, The
rents are certainly not such as would
Justify them in restoring the half
burned rookeries. A fine business
street taking the place of the present
blotch, would undoubtedly give a
greatly increased value to their prop
erty. If the HERAsD could be favor
ably heard in the matter, it
would advise the property hold
ers of Chinatown to get to-
gether and talk over the situation.
An interchange Of views might let in
a food of light upon the best course
for them to pursue. In the meantime
we would ask the City Attorney to
look into the status of the condemna-
tion cases, and see whether vigorous
and awakened policy on the part Of
the city would not bring about bene-
fetal public results.

ers Of every nationality. The scheme
is large, comprehensive, and utterly
without view Of financial gain. So
cially, the society brings together
people from all parts Of the globe, and
valuable acquaintances are formed
that make the world more enjoyable
than before. In addition to the lee
lures from the rostrum, the society OF
the most pure and eminent in litera-
ture and science constitutes for a series
of weeks a continual intellectual
feast. Could Socrates have been placed
at Long Beach under the favoring
skies of Southern California, with
such an audience as daily gathers at
that charming spot, there would have
been no conspiracy against him, no
envy of his wondrous powers, and no
fatal hemlock for him to quaf at the
instigation of ingrates. The Chautau-
qua is growth of the Athenian, or
academic, system of education that has
been elevated and purified by the pro-
gress of mankind through many CEN
turtles of struggle after truth. The
people OF Southern California, with
their broad and tolerant views, give
the Chautauqua welcome and an
audience that is spontaneous and
cheering. Probably no other locality
in America could be more desirable
in midsummer heat for an education
al convention, and certainly no more
jubilant reception could be given than
that at Long Beach. 1t is Plato's
Academia restored on the Arcadian
hores of South California.

We publish elsewhere the statistics
of the commerce of the Port of San
Pedro for the year ending en- the Both
of last June. 1t is a splendid show
ing. The total foreign and domestic
tonnage of the port for the year was
459, 457. The remarkable feature Of
the imports is in the fact that 1885,.
543, 900 feet of lumber arrived here
during the year. That tells the story
of our county's progress. 1t shows
that, whilst land values have been
booming, building has been going on
at AMI unprecedented rate.

Culture by the Seaside.

The re markable success of the Chau-
tauqua movement in South California
indicates the liberal ideas of the peo-
pie. The Chautauqua is entirely un-
denominational in its principles, and
welcomes all sects and non-sects to its
symposia. Its object is to bring together
leading scientists from all parts of the
world, and from every Christian creed
and school of of philosophy, and learn
their views, so that every member can
know what anybody knows about any
thing. 1t is the revival of the old
Athenian system of public instruction
by lectures on all manner of topics
of an educational character. Teach
ess Of music, OF history, of
modern languages, Of astronomy
Of elocution, Of grammar, OF geography
of rhetoric, are in attendance. Moth
ing of a partisan or sectarian character
is allowed. The object of the society
is the elevation Of mankind, and it is
noticeable that here in Southern Cali
fornia the people are more free from
partisan or sectarian bias or prejudice
than in any other part OF the American
continent. No proselyter is allowed
on the platform of the Chautauqua
Every lecturer, or teacher of science
Uf any kind, is only to tell what he OF
she knows in the various branches
of human learning, without antagoniz-
ing the views Of others. Nothing Of
m immoral character is tolerated un-
DIR any guise Of thought or drapery of
sheory. The members come together
